Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from NOC's reported EPS growth of 10.5% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $48.01
- Implied price
- $960.23
- Return from $478.00
- 15.0% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $477.40 — -0.1% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5% | -2.6% | 1.2% | 4.6% | 7.5% | 10.2% |
| 5.5% | 2.2% | 6.3% | 9.8% | 12.9% | 15.7% |
| 10.5% | 7.1% | 11.3% | 15.0% | 18.2% | 21.2% |
| 15.5% | 11.9% | 16.3% | 20.2% | 23.6% | 26.6% |
| 20.5% | 16.7% | 21.4% | 25.4% | 28.9% | 32.1% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

…t I Still Prefer Cash Northrop Grumman is a Buy at current levels, supported by structural defense tailwinds and major roles in U.S. nuclear modernization and space. NOC offers durable value amid great-power rivalry, but growth lags peers and execution risks persist, notably with segment margin declines and negative free cash flow. Valuation is reasonable with 38.5% implied upside to a $720 price target, though upside may materialize gradually and NOC is best as a modest portfolio allocation.
